8. Natalia Kills’ husband, Willy Moon, was similarly rising in the music scene after going viral for his hit “Yeah Yeah.” The two, who were married, both looked to be getting more notoriety with their first foray into reality television as judges on The X Factor New Zealand.
However, in their very first live show, Kills and Moon made such cruel comments to a contestant that both of their careers were almost immediately ruined. After contestant Joe Irvine sang “Cry Me a River,” Kills called Irvine out for dressing like Moon, with Moon joining in. The audience booed, and the other judges tried to step in, but they kept going.
Natalia later issued an apology, saying, “A lot goes on behind the scenes of a reality TV show and [what] you see isn’t always the whole story. … I was encouraged to be outspoken, and things got out of hand. … Joe, I hope you can forgive me and I wish you all the best!” but the damage was done. The duo was let go from the show after a viral petition to get them fired. Natalia did continue her career, but she changed her name and started a different band with Moon, which still has not released their debut album.
